The Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. on Friday, June 7 from 6:30 p.m. hosted an evening showing of the exhibition "Merging Realms: Art Across Boundaries" to celebrate its opening. Over 50 visitors enjoyed the event to enjoy special extended hours of the exhibition, a live art and dance performance and a reception. The event coincided with Art Walk Dupont's local community art event First Friday, and featured a live performance by fellow Korean artists Junghee Oh and Songhee Lee-Chung in collaboration with featured artists Dabal Kim. The performance was held in front of Kim's new work Twelve Doors. After the performance, visitors had the chance to engage in conversation with the artists and performers. 

"Merging Realms: Art Across Boundaries" is an exhibition of sculpture, installation, fashion and video works by artists Donghun Sung and Dabal Kim on view from June 7 to August 9. Artists Donghun Sung and Dabal Kim have collaborated for decades. Their visually compelling works aim to blur the lines between different cultures, media, spaces, and times. By crossing the social and cultural boundaries between tradition and modernity, myth and history, and feminine and masculine, their collective artistic journey reflects their objective of creating a novel visual world—one that blends values and questions modern dichotomies of knowledge.

The exhibition will remain on view at the KCCDC June 7 through August 9, 2024 during regular visitor hours (M-F, 10 AM-noon & 1-5 PM) 2024 with an opening reception during extended evening hours on Friday, June 7 (6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.).
